I Hated My Hair.
We interviewed 5 drastically different women who shared one commonality that perhaps every woman can relate to - our tumultuous relationship with our hair and how society has shaped our views.
Richelle, Hailee, Zoey, Sarah, and Morgan's hair journeys reveal how important hair is to a woman's identity and our struggles to fit impossible celebrity standards.
Morgan, who was eventually diagnosed with alopecia totalis, first experienced hair loss in her late teens.
Hair is something we all take for granted and yet almost every woman has said at some point in her life, "I hate my hair."
As we dive deep into why that is, each woman realized she was impacted by society's standards of what "good hair should look like."
Richelle, a Black woman growing up in a predominantly White neighborhood and school, realized her hair was a source of attention:
Sarah, who grew up watching Korean dramas, recounted all the beautiful celebrities she saw on TV:
"I looked at all of their hair - you know, it was all straight, silky, long and black and so thick. You realize you're looking at hair that's 100% perfect."
These impossible standards tell us that our own hair, in all of its different textures, styles, thickness, and curls, are not good enough on their own.
The tumultuous journey impacts our identities, sense of self worth, and femininity.
Zoey, who struggled most of her life to tame her curly hair, realized she didn't necessarily need to fit into these standards through her journey of self discovery with her sexuality.
"When I started realizing I liked women, it completely changes your identity of how you present yourself. So my senior year, when I finally could go to prom and be out there, that's when I cut my hair."
Hailee also wanted her hair to reflect her changing identity.
"People tell you that you're pretty and valuable because of your hair. And no, I'm so much more than that. I told my roommate, you know what, today's the day...and we cut [my hair] all off."
Hating her hair, losing her hair, changing her hair - these are experiences that many women can relate with as we struggle to feel like we fit in and feel beautiful.
But this journey can also lead us to evolve, become stronger, and grow beyond popular culture and celebrities' depictions of "perfect hair."
"Good hair is perceived as long or straight or has a looser curl pattern, but over time I just realized good hair simply means your hair is healthy and you're taking care of it the best way you know how." - Richelle
"I went from I can't tell anybody because they'll judge me...to oh my god, this is the best thing that's happened to me.
You got through a journey of being this person that you want to be so badly. But just be who you are. I now love when people come up to me and say, 'omg I love your hair' and I tell them, 'Thanks! It's a wig!'" - Morgan
Each woman we interviewed recounted that their hair journey - whether it be alopecia and hair loss, chemical hair damage from hair dye or relaxers, trying to tame curly hair - helped them realize that they could love their hair despite it not being what others' said it should be.
This path to self acceptance and self love enabled them to want to share their experience with others in the hopes that it can help other women find peace with their hair.
"I'm going to come to this experience different. I'm going to see who I am with different hair and I'm going to love her regardless what my [previous] image of her was.
I hear people lean on my appearance as a woman. I think I'm a masculine woman. Like I don't think I'm a feminine woman. Femininity changed [when I shaved my hair]. I was looking at myself different. Other people probably wonder, 'is that a woman?'
And I'm ok with that. I think when we talk about femininity and masculinity, I think we have both and they key is to balance it within ourselves. I think [buzzing my hair] gave me the opportunity to express my masculinity more. Which is something I was afraid of - being a strong masculine character because I feel like in a lot of ways...that's intimidating.
But it's not, it can be gentle. My relationship with my hair now, I care about it more." - Hailee
Every hair journey is different and we all deserve to celebrate what makes us unique.
Curly, straight, thin, bald, and buzzed hair are ALL beautiful hair!

I have every reason to do what I had to do if you were in my shoes! I couldn’t take it any longer. I had spent over a thousand dollars on medication she couldn’t stop. he was a drug addict i realized a bit late through his text messages and recent call records to different hard drug dealers. he had gotten to the point of selling them for a living and i noticed he is always spending lavishly and never thought of our kids and I thought that was enough until he brought a woman to our bed while i was away to satisfy his sexual urge. I got all the information I needed from him through the great services of fredvalcyberghost@gmail.com and you can text,call him on +19782951763 and you can whatsapp him on +15177981808 and I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t take this good step.

I caught my husband so many times through his chats and all about cheating on me and when i told him he always claims that he has changed and all. right now he hides his phone from me and i still guess he is cheating cause i could not break into phone any more so i was referred to a hacker named FRED who i ran to for help and this hacker was able to break into his phone and proved me with the access to my husband phone without my spouse knowing about the hack. Right in my phone I have all my husband’s daily activities . I got to read all his chats, texts, calls, WhatsApp, Facebook, and many more. This hacker is really great, thank you.

Losing $50,000 to a cryptocurrency scam felt like a nightmare I couldn’t wake from. It began with a convincing online investment platform promising high returns. After transferring funds, the platform vanished, leaving me devastated. I reported the scam to authorities, but they warned recovery was unlikely. Desperate, I found Cyberpunk Programmers through a forum post on Abroad Reviews. Skeptical but hopeful, I contacted them via cyberpunkprogrammers.com.
From the first call, their team was professional and empathetic, understanding the emotional toll of my loss. They explained their recovery process clearly, outlining how they’d trace my funds through blockchain analysis. Over three weeks, they worked diligently, providing regular updates that kept me informed and reassured. Their expertise in navigating wallet addresses and coordinating with legal channels was remarkable. Against all odds, they recovered my entire $50,000—a miracle that restored my financial stability.
Cyberpunk Programmers didn’t just recover my funds; they restored my trust. Their transparency, from detailing costs to explaining technical steps, made me feel in control. Unlike other services I’d contacted, they never pressured me or made unrealistic promises. Their dedication was evident in every interaction, and I’m forever grateful for their persistence. If you’ve been scammed, don’t lose hope. Cyberpunk Programmers is a lifeline, offering unmatched skill and compassion to turn despair into recovery.
What would I have done without your help Mr James Mckay Wizard?.. I’m most grateful and am writing a review for you with a grateful heart. Thanks for helping me get my life back together and especially helping me to clear my credit debts that my wife had maxed out and even more thanks for helping me get the proof I need to go through with the court proceeds. My wife has always been a cheater and I never would have had helped without you, she would have took away my children and all my money. If you are looking to hire a good cyber hacker and recovering agent he is the man for you contact him here: jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp +3165.. 744.. 6248.
Despite trying various methods and consulting numerous experts, none could provide a solution. Perry Mark’s recommendation of jamesmmckaywizard on her page proved to be a turning point. From the moment I contacted them, their team displayed unmatched professionalism and dedication. Recognizing the urgency, they promptly initiated work on my case, showcasing advanced technology and expertise in cryptocurrency recovery. The team went above and beyond, exploring every possible avenue and providing regular updates on the progress. To my delight, James successfully recovered my BTC wallet, turning my despair into joy and hope for the future. I express my deepest gratitude for their outstanding services and commend Perry for the invaluable recommendation. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Email:jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or what’sapp +31/ 6 5 7 / 4 4 6 / 2 4 /8.
SCAMS CAN TAKE MANY FORMS, BUT ALL SHARE A COMMON GOAL: TAKING YOUR MONEY
Fraud can happen in many ways—whether it’s binary options scams, love scams, forex fraud, crypto investment schemes, or loan scams. If you’ve been a victim of any of these, it’s easy to feel confused and overwhelmed by the different financial institutions and legal processes involved in recovery. The journey to reclaim your stolen funds can often be frustrating and difficult to manage on your own.
The recovery process usually involves navigating complex legal and financial systems, which can be even more challenging without experience. In such cases, it’s crucial to seek professional help from a trusted firm specializing in fund recovery.
“ YOUR CHANCES OF RECOVERY DEPENDS ON THE RIGHT FIRM “
The success of recovering your stolen funds largely depends on the firm you choose to work with. Unfortunately, the internet is full of fraudulent companies pretending to be recovery firms. These scammers often use misleading tactics and false promises to deceive victims, claiming they can recover lost funds when in fact, they are just after more of your money.
“ BE CAUTIOUS OF IMPERSONATORS AND SCAMS ”
Many scammers impersonate legitimate firms and use deceptive tactics such as creating fake email addresses with numbers or claiming to have recovered funds for others. It’s essential to be vigilant and carefully select a reputable firm with proven expertise.
“ WARNING: Five Websites to Avoid ”
Here are five of the most disputed websites that you should avoid at all costs:
1. ROYALCFD.COM
2. APP.DHY-GLOBAL.US
3. SCAMRECTIFY.ORG
4. INVESTCRYPTO.ORG
5. CRYPTOEXCHANGE.COM
These websites are often linked to fraudulent activities and should not be trusted. Always verify the legitimacy of any platform before engaging with them.

In a time when truth is often buried behind screens and secrets, these cyberpunk programmers are true digital vigilantes. I reached out with deep suspicions about my partner’s late-night texts and constant phone guarding. Within days, they exposed everything — from hidden messages to secret apps I never knew existed. They used advanced phone cloning techniques and remote access tools to show me exactly what was going on. It wasn’t just about catching a cheater; it was about reclaiming my peace of mind.
Beyond personal investigations, their skills extend into parental control and child safety.
These programmers operate with professionalism, efficiency, and a futuristic edge. It felt like something out of a sci-fi film — but real, and incredibly effective. They’re not just tech experts; they’re digital detectives with a mission to uncover truth and protect clients.
Highly recommend if you’re dealing with cheating suspicions, phone security breaches, or simply want to ensure your loved ones are safe. Discreet, reliable, and incredibly effective. Just reach them at cyberpunkprogrammers.com

I was scammed by a binary option website. I lost about $253,000 to them. It was a really hard time for me because that was all i had and they tricked me into investing the money with a guarantee that i will make profit from the investment.. I was referred to RecoveryHacker101, they are recovery specialists for all types of online scams, they helped me in recovering all my lost funds I couldn’t believe at first that this was possible as i have lost all hope in contacting anyone on the internet, but i guess not everyone is bad after all. You can reach them on (recoveryhacker101@gmailcom).
I am posting this review here because I want to be of help to anyone out there, who in one or two ways have been scammed by online investment platforms. After going through a lot to recover my bitcoin although many people told me it’s impossible to recover your bitcoin If you’ve lost your bitcoin as a result of investing in binary options, trading platforms, your account was hacked or other bitcoin related scams or lost money to scammers online in whichever ways then You’re not alone. (I lost over $65,950 to skyrockettrade). Being a scam victim myself, I tried several means to recover my funds all to no avail, till I came across a cyber crime and recovery expert’s address online by name jamesmckaywizard@gmail.com He literally saved my life, all i lost to these fake investors skyrockettrade was recouped in just a few days (a total of 3.7721 BTC) was recovered, Kindly send a message to the contact below if you’ve been in such situations and you are seeking recovery // jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp ++31657446248.. and thank me later..
In Dec, 2021, I invested the sum of 19.78 BTC with a fake blockchain impostor I met online, all the money I had saved up since 2014 got stolen just within a Month, my whole life almost crumbled, to crown it all my FICO score was so bad that I couldn’t even afford securing a loan to help my kids, but everything became better after I joined a forum online where I met people testifying about, a hacker who has been helping thousands of people all over the world. I decided to reach out to him via the following contact shared on the platform // jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp +31622647750., they responded and requested for all necessary information needed to aid my JOB, to my greatest surprise my bitcoin was recovered and my credit report fixed, FICO score was boosted to 783 across all 3-credit bureau’s, all negative items cleared just within 8 days.

I almost lost my marriage when I watched my wife turned into a total stranger and left the kids and I. I was so furious knowing I had done everything possible to ensure I sustained my marriage as a father and husband. The terrible fights we had traumatized me and I couldn’t function properly as a man. I kept on trying to find out what made her did what she did which made me contacted Dr Isikolo. I was surprised to have found out that she was under a huge manipulation from a man who wanted to ruin my marriage with her and take her away from me. Dr Isikolo had to intervene and fixed the problem thereby ensuring she was rescued from the claws of the dark magic charm they used on her. Knowing that I was able to get my family together again with the help of Dr Isikolo gives me joy and I am forever thankful to him.
